Basic Leader Training

 

Fast Start training remains essentially unchanged. It continues to provide an immediate comfort level for new leaders and enables them to say, "I can do this!" Fast Start training is the first step for any new volunteer and is to be delivered immediately after a new leader registers and before he or she meets with any youth member.

 

All videos listed on this page are available at the Scout Shop.

Cub Scout Leader Fast Start is a package of position-specific video programs accompanied by a Cub Scout Leader Fast Start Viewer Guide (No. AV-01G022). Each program gives leaders information on planning and conducting their first meeting, and even demonstrates one they can use. Five segments are included in the video:

• "Tiger Cub Den Leader"
• "Cub Scout Den Leader"
• "Webelos Den Leader"
• "Cubmaster"
• "Pack Committee"

Pack-administered self-study is the primary method of delivery for Fast Start training. A pack trainer usually supports the new leader during this training period.

The Boy Scout Fast Start video includes the following segments:

• "The Troop Meeting" - This is the primer on how to run a troop meeting. Produced for new unit leaders and commissioners, the video covers planning, parts of the meeting, the patrol method, and resources.
• "The Outdoor Program" - Running a troop meeting is one thing; running a successful outdoor activity is another. This program goes into planning, organization, ideals, and BSA policy for outdoor activities. It also touches on long-term and high-adventure activities.
• "The Troop Organization" - This program starts with the charter concept: the chartered organization, the district, and the council, and their relationship to the troop. Each leadership and committee position is described. This is an excellent program for commissioners, troop committees, troop leaders, and chartered organizations.
